Have you ever read a book so profound that you have to set it aside to calm your racing heart? Have you ever read a book so intense that you find yourself white-knuckling it, leaving dents in pages and cover? Have you ever had to put a book down for a few minutes when you realize that you're getting dizzy from holding your breath- or hyperventilating?
I'm having all those issues and more with The Kingdom. On the one hand, I know how it ends, because it's a book about God, written by a Christian author. Duh, God wins. But it is the journey of discovery that is so exciting, it literally hurts. Have you ever enjoyed a book like that?
If not, you're missing out.
In fact, I would recommend the Chiveis trilogy, by Bryan M. Litfin. It consists of The Sword, The Gift, and The Kingdom, and the whole thing is intense. Incredibly, profoundly intense. If you ever wanted a deep demonstration of good vs. evil, read the Bible, then read these three books. You won't regret it, trust me.
